Fossilium is a strategic and interactive set collection and tile placement game. As the director of a natural history museum specializing in paleontology, it’s your mission to turn your establishment into the most sought-after destination for fossil enthusiasts. To achieve this, you will send your paleontologists on promising excavations, carefully assemble fossil pieces, and strategically display them in your grand hall. By expanding your museum with facilities like restaurants and auditoriums, you can unlock additional income and powerful bonuses. Always keep an eye on visitor trends, as this can allow you to sell season tickets and gain a crucial advantage over your competitors.
The game features a unique blend of competition and cooperation: while you may compete for valuable action spaces, there’s also room for collaboration. In the spirit of scientific discovery, you can assist your rivals in completing iconic fossils like the T-Rex or Stegosaurus, allowing both players to score points.
Fossilium is a science-based game developed in collaboration with the Museum für Naturkunde in Berlin (Natural History Museum), ensuring an authentic and engaging experience for players.
